On a field trip last week a group of Washington, DC, students got a rare inside look into the workings of one of Loudoun's most recognized businesses, as well as a glimpse of what might be possible in the future.
The students have spent the summer working in DC's Geographic Information System department, and Aug. 14 took one of their last educational trips to GeoEye, a leading producer of satellite, aerial and geospatial information and operator of Earth imaging satellites, the latest of which was launched less than a year ago.
"This is a very rare thing for us. They're getting to see things that most people don't get to see," Mark E. Brender, vice president of corporate communications and marketing for GeoEye said of the students' visit. "They've been doing field trips to places throughout the summer, and we wanted to host them here."
